She added: “The campaign for can collection was the first strategic, annual, action-oriented programme for the community initiated by Emirates Environmental Group in 1997. Since that time, it has flourished and grown dynamically, providing the platform for all walks of society to display their commitment towards reducing some of the challenges our environment faces in this day and age.”

The target set for this cycle is 27,000kg of aluminium cans to be collected throughout the year for recycling. There will be special sites set up across the emirates on February 27 to encourage participants to stop by and deposit their aluminium cans in a joint, symbolic effort throughout the nation.
